Zero tolerance to Sexual Harassment

The recent press coverage on sexual harassment has brought attention to this highly under-reported form of misconduct.

Some companies and consultants have said that sexual harassment is not really an issue in Singapore. However, our survey of 500 respondents showed that 54% of respondents had experienced some form of sexual harassment in their workplace. Of those harassed, 79% were female; indicating that men were not spared.

What exactly is sexual harassment? Does the law protect you against this form of behaviour? What are your options if you are victim of sexual harassment?

Sexual harassment in the workplace affects morale, decreases productivity and reduces the self-esteem of the victim. The confusion, guilt and shame can cripple a person’s personal and professional growth.

This workshop aims to empower you with the tools to defend yourself against sexual harassment. Apart from learning about sexual harassment, we have also invited a professional self-defence instructor to demonstrate a few personal protection moves.
